About This Game

Sanctum 2 is the sequel to the world’s first Tower Defense/FPS hybrid game. Pick from four unique character classes and embark on a mission to protect the oxygen-producing Cores from hordes of deadly aliens who are threatened by their existence. Outfit your character exactly the way you want through the new and extensive customization system. Choose your own loadout of towers, weapons and perks, but choose wisely because you are humanity’s last defense against the unrelenting hordes set out to destroy it.

Sanctum 2 is a new game completely rebuilt from the ground up using community feedback and innovative design to really push the bar of what an independent studio can do.

Intense Action – Deep Strategy

In Sanctum 2, you will utilize elements from multiple gameplay genres to succeed. Construct towers and walls during the building phase before the enemies attack, then jump into the fray and blast everything to pieces in FPS mode. You can progress through the single-player campaign yourself, or play with up to four friends in co-op to discover the secrets of the planet LOEK III and learn the backstory on why the aliens are so intent on destroying the Cores you are sworn to protect.

Key Features

Building on the success of the original game, Sanctum 2 stands alone as the only true FPS/Tower Defense hybrid. No other title delivers gameplay that seamlessly combines both genres.

First-Person Shooter – Don’t just sit back and watch, jump into the action yourself!

Four playable character classes – Each with their own unique strengths, weaknesses and weapons.

Sanctum 2 is a decent co-op game and I recommend it because it's unique (FPS & Tower Defense hybrid) and fun to play (you can choose from several characters and level up to gain access to different perks).

I don't have many hours on Sanctum 2 because it lacks a good story and doesn't have the greatest graphics. Hopefully Sanctum 3 comes out with a nice story and better graphics. I would definitely buy and play that.

Action? CheckReaction? CheckIntensity? CheckCool aliens to shoot and not feel bad about it? CheckNot having to clean up the dead bodies after a good workout? CheckMaze building (and I don't mean having 2-3 options, I mean the whole nine yard of options)? CheckLOADS of diversified weapons, perks and towers? Check

Sadly this game lacks in terms of the sizy of its community, and that's about the only bad thing I can come up about this game.

You like fast-paced FPS Shooters? You like Tower Defense? You like to be faced with increasingly difficult odds and to put your name on some relevant leaderboards (until they reset them, of course)? Then this game's for you.

Sanctum 2 is an FPS Tower Defense Game that can be played alone or with Friends , This game is unique you will be astonished About the graphics this game Has , Sometimes you will just want to stand there .. while a walker is attacking your core Looking at them Shiney Skies and waterfalls ♥♥♥♥ the core .. GO AND SEE THEM GRAPHICS , well to be honest the most beautiful maps are the dlc's really. aside from graphics This game is Tons of fun with friends you know ( Not Strangers :P).

I wont tell the story of my life now so lets get to the point , You want a tower defense game ?! AN FPS? A COOP to enjoy with YOUR SQUAD ??? leveling up system up to 50 lvls ? Various skills to choose from ? good Plot and Characters ? if YES THEN GO BUY IT NOW you wont regret it.

Moving on to what the game has , first weapons , there isnt much weapons to choose from unless you buy the DLC's as I mentioned earlier alot of skills to choose from , Towers are about 12 more are added with DLC's, Characters Aint shabby , Teamwork depends on the team , the main objective is to defend the core from being destroyed by Aliens , such as Walkers , Armoured Heavy , Bubble heads , Hoverers .. etc.... , A player can recieve money and Tower Blocks from teammates , Not to forget this game has Secret chambers once you find them you play a game once you find all secret chambers and win all the games you get an acheivment also in each chamber there will be a secret code , you copy paste the code at a sanctum 2 site , it will show you secret archives :D

Finally , Sanctum 2 is a Spectacular experiecnce for Tower defense lovers , it has achievements and Trading Cards hehe ;) , Im not a Recommendation Expert , but Ive stated some Basic reasons to what this game contain.

This is the best Bloons Tower Defense adaption I've ever seen. Great graphics, but the bloons weren't bloons but aliens instead, which confused me, and I can safely assume the rest of the Bloons fanbase felt the same way.
